Default newbie tacking question

My motor might well run from time to time.

That's more than you can say for your wife's
sexual desires which do not exist for your fat,
ugly, bloated carcass. Give me five minutes
with the poor, deprived bitch and she will
think she died and went to heaven.

There's something wrong with your boat.

I can tack through only 60 degrees in light winds.

sailing a small sloop keel boat, 19 foot Com-Pac 19, in light winds.
i'm having difficulty making a nice smooth tack in light winds.

for example, if close hauled on a starboard tack with a heading of 180
degrees, after i tack i must fall off to a heading of much more than 280
degrees to regain steerage, and only after regaining forward speed can i
return and point up to a 280 degree heading or less.

i don't think the problem is so pronounced in brisk winds, but haven't
actually taken the observations of the compass.

is this typical to have to fall off the wind much more than the eventual
heading to obtain steerage?

thanks.

Carolls.

Tacking in light air with a Com-Pac,
Before you tack you'll have to fall off and gain speed. Do this gently!
Remember a turned rudder is like a brake. When you get speed sail across
the wind to you're new course,being very,very light on the helm. I have
tacked past other boat by just heeling the boat to make the turns NO
rudder at all. Tacking in ligth air is like sailing a group of lazy "S"
turns. Don't let the rudder kill your motion

I was just wondering, is that the best you can do?
